LETTER: I can tear down anything controversial

I once read about a judge who sentenced a teenager who had stolen a gaming system from another teenager, to let the second teenager take anything he wanted from the first teenager to see how he liked losing something of his. (He didn’t like it.)

We now have gangs of thugs tearing down civil war statues because “they don’t like them.” I wonder what they would do if someone who “doesn’t like Martin Luther King” was to tear down his statue?

I can hear the screams of bigotry now. The press would never stop screaming for blood. Yet, the courts have dropped charges against the ones who tore down the statue in Durham (I think Durham is right). Why? Because the press isn’t calling for blood. Since nothing was done to them, we now have other hoods tearing down “Silent Sam.”

Thanks to the law for having the same laws for gangs of thugs as for us. Now I know I can tear down anything controversial and get away with. What a crime stopper. DO AWAY WITH THE CRIME. No need for laws anymore. All we need do is let the gangs run wild!
